    XNA and 360 addon keyboard?

    After seeing the 360 update today, I began to wonder; will the new 360 add-on keyboard be accessible through the Keyboard class out of the box?

    I'm just guessing but I would imagine it would probably be just like using a USB keyboard... I wonder if you could use it on the PC with a 360 controller?

    That's a very interesting thought really, it could make for a very nice and useful remote. :-)

    A browser and Visual Studio, imagine that! Being able to program directly in the 360!

    After seeing that the spring update is adding support for Live Messenger I would think it would only make sense that the next thing we will see on the 360 is the rest of the Live offerings... like our live.com spaces, etc... that would atleast bring RSS, etc the 360, which would be a GREAT start!  It also brings in the whole live spaces community idea and some way to "filter" the content that is one the live network...

    I would imagine the biggest problem with bringing a browser to the 360 is security issues that a browser would bring onto the 360... although I would guess you could just by pass the Live service all together and run the browser right off of the box connected the internet...

    I'd much rather they take the time to implement a secure, Live-based browser than to let my Xbox be open for security breaches. I don't know much about browsers nor how easy this task would be for the people at MS, but I for one really won't care if I have a browser. I'd use it if it was there, but it's not like I can't use my PC or laptop to do it more efficiently.
